Product Description
J.A. Henckels Four Star 9-Piece Block Set: Kitchen & Dining. Henckels Twin Four Star knives were designed and developed in close cooperation with renowned professional chefs. Most of the Henckels lines--including the popular Four Star series--feature blades made of Friodur, a special ice-hardened, no-stain steel created and patented by the company in 1939. This special formula was designed for exceptional hardness and high resistance to corrosion. The knives included in this set are some of the brand's most popular and versatile pieces. For vegetable peeling and cutting duties, there is a 3-inch paring knife. Two utility knives--a 5-inch serrated blade and a 6-inch standard--make quick work of most household cutting and slicing jobs, while an 8-inch chef's knife makes chopping and dicing a breeze. An 8-inch carver handles roasts, and an 8-inch bread knife easily slices through fresh-baked loaves. The set also includes a pair of sleek, multipurpose kitchen shears, a 9-inch honing steel for keeping blades at their razor-sharp best, and hardwood block for attractive and secure storage, and more. Founded in 1731, the J.A. Henckels company is not only one of the world's oldest cutlery manufacturers, it's also one of the most well-respected, creating best-selling knives guaranteed to last a lifetime. --Kim Harwell What’s in the Box 3-inch paring knife, 5-inch serrated utility knife, 6-inch standard utility knife, 8-inch chef's knife, 8-inch carver, 8-inch bread, kitchen shears, 9-inch honing steel, hardwood block.
